talisyn Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm always glad when I can cross party lines and salute politicians who I feel are actually doing a good job. My husband's computer won't allow me to click on the insert link button so it's cut/paste, sorry WIOD NewsRadio 610 - News | Traffic | Weather - 24"A measure filed by State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) would allow any law enforcement agency that has custody of an illegal immigrant to take the illegal to 'the office of a U.S. Senator or Representative' and leave them there."Awesome.

GeneC Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If it passes do you suppose that it will make the Congressmen hide, as they are doing in Wisconsin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisyn Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There are only so many places they can hide before they have to do something about the porous border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There are only so many places they can hide before they have to do something about the porous border.Could take a while, as a group politicians of any stripe are fairly good at avoiding sticky issues when they want to.

FunkyTown Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Wait... Who's suffering here? The senators who have people breaking the law put in their office or the people breaking the law who have to put up with longwinded politicians?

Keen observation. Sorry, chastisement by an anonymous internet denizen with a terminal case of lack-of-humoritus is one of the things that won't be keeping me up at night.

talisyn Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Claygirl, I'm sympathetic to the plight of illegal immigrants. The more I know about various places (mostly Mexico) the more I feel sorry for them. However, the problems they face is a task something their home country must solve. What bugs me is the US politicians who get elected after a campaign run as 'Close the Border!' and then do nothing. Once police show up in the Senators and Reps offices with illegal immigrants in custody it will no longer be an ephermal 'we really should do something, eventually' problem. It will be a 'how do we get out of this without looking like a hypocrite' problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 These jokes are as funny if youdont care about peopleClaygirl - would you mind explaining your view on the matter?Are you saying that if we urge our senators to enforce the law of the land that we are being mean to people? Mean to who? The illegal immigrants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
